External RDP Password Autofill Issues

External RDP Password Autofill Issues

Hello,

I'm currently having issues with password Autofill on my Mac when attempting to use Open (External). It opens the Microsoft RDP Session however it always prompts for the password. When I choose internal it connects every time. I'm currently running macOS Catalina, Microsoft Remote Desktop version 10 and the latest version of Remote Desktop Manager. Is this a known issue?

Hello,

This is indeed a known issue/situation. Microsoft doesn’t offer us a way to send the password to the RDP session. This is why its required to enter it manually.

As of now, theres nothing we can do. If someday Microsoft offer us to integrate this kind of feature, we will consider it for sure.

Best regards,

Hello,

Can you check if RDM is enabled in the 'Accessibility' section in 'Security & Privacy'?

Is there any update to this issue? Would rather have a standard window, rather than an embedded or undocked display.

What tool could I use to substitute the MS RDP Client? - Suggestions?

Thanks

Hi mikebuck,

Are you talking about the MRDP autofill when launched from RDM? If so, it should already work. So long as the application has the Accessibilty (Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility) and the Automation (Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Automation) rights.

Hi Xavier,

I'm still encountering this issue with latest remote desktop manager for Mac. I've checked the rights in Security & Privacy and they are both checked (MacOS BigSur version).

Thanks,

Marius
